Susan Philipsz | Sound in Space

Susan Philipsz doesn’t define herself as a sound artist, but for over two decades the Turner Prize winner has pursued the notion of sound as a physical or sculptural experience. Philipsz is interested in the ways that sound and space can define and mediate one another, creating poetic and immersive installations that draw from musical, literary and historical references. In this film the artist discusses her work, and how she uses sound to respond to the unique characteristics of particular spaces.
Artists in Profile is a series of films that explore the ideas, materials and processes of some of the best-known contemporary artists working today. Filmed in the artists’ studios from Argyll & Bute to Berlin; in train stations, a primary school, the shore of a loch, and the Glasgow Necropolis; these videos aim to give an insight into the spaces where artists create their work, and the places that inspire them.
